“Putting out an eye” was Lon Chaney s daily task during the filming of Ihe Road to Mandalay,” his new vehicle for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer releasing throughout New Zealand shortly. Every day the actor applied a chemical to his eyeball which gave the bizarre effect of a man with one eye destroyed in a knife slash. This gruesome make-up is one of the greatest, effects he has ever obtained in the way of illusions. Lois Moran, Owen Moore, ' Henry B. Walthall and other notable players appear in the vivid new Oriental drama.

In making up for the part of Old Bill in the Master Picture of that name now being released throughout New Zealand, - Syd Chaplin obliterated all signs of Syd. The smooth forehead is | deeply lined —lines of perplexity and of coming age. The brows are beetling and bushy. Fine lines and shadows under the eyes give the look of shaggy weariness; but deeper and more kindly wrinkles, radiating from the outer corners, show how often mirth has outwitted sadness. It is not Syd Chaplin as we know him—it is that remarkable old trench philosopher “Old Bill.”

Anna Q. Nilsson has just returned from her visit in Sweden, where she went to see her relatives in the old home town. Hollywood didn’t seem the same without Anna Q. But still, she was entitled to the vacation., for it was her first trip to Sweden since she went to Hollywood to seek her fortune many, many years ago. And with all her success, she’s the same Anna Q., who won her first start up the- fad der as an artist’s model.

The Talmadges appear t o be verytired of making moving pictures, and we wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they i etired from the screen for good upon the completion of their present con-

tracts (says an American movie magazine>.

While on his last location trip, Ronald Colman induced his friend Charlie Lane to go for a ride—just for fresh an- if they could get any. Colman and Lane finally hit the little town of Garmch, jtet far fom .the location, and some choice oranges on a fruit stand cuaght the Colman eye. “I’ll have a dozen," said Colman’. “How much ?” Three dollars,” said the man. He was drimb-founded when Colman took the oranges and handed him four crisp one-doilar bills. “Why the extra dollar.- ’ asked the merchant. “I just stepped on a grape,” said Colman, and walked casually away.

In an effort to develop practical, and constructive ideas and suggestions for the advancement of the quality and usefulness of moving pictures, Carl Laemmle, president of the Universal Pictures Corporation, announces the establishment of what will be known as the Laemmle award. This annual award will consist of annual prizes amounting in the aggregate to 5000 dollars, open to writers on news papcis, magazines and trade journals in ali parts of the world. The award will be divided into twelve individual prizes, the m;.or one of which amounts io .' dollars, and ranging downwards to .1 J dollars. In ease of a tie. et J : - -a will be awarded.
